Question:

Can I receive compensation for long-term neck injuries?

Answer:

Many of our clients that have been involved in an accident experience a neck injury, and a lot of them wonder, why is it that my neck hurts after the impact that I sustained? What I explain to them is an analogy, that your head weighs about the same as a bowling ball. If you were driving and you were holding a bowling ball in your hand, and you were to experience that same impact, the car comes to a stop, and your body comes to a stop, that bowling ball would fly out the window. The only reason they understand that their head does not go flying out the window is because it’s attached to your body by the neck.

In an accident, the neck experiences a tremendous amount of stress. Neck injuries are very common in injury cases, and it’s important to understand that the neck injuries don’t always manifest the moment of the crash; sometimes it takes a day or a few days before individuals start to feel the pain. It’s important to consult with an attorney who understands neck injuries and can help you understand how to resolve your injury claim when it involves a neck injury.
